BOB HOHN - FLAME PAINTING ON COPPER
If you have ever tried to create a Heat Patina on copper, you will find it very hard to duplicate color pattern from one copper plate to another. In this class we will learn to use a Victor J40 Torch to control color changes and patterns on copper, with somewhat consistent results. This class will take a bit of finesse and it will test your abilities, but with the amount of practice time given, you will enjoy the beautiful results. Prior use of torch will be helpful, but not absolutely necessary. Project materials will be included in the lab fee. Additional Copper Wire and sheet goods will be available for purchase.
Lab Fee: $125
Est. Materials Fee: $0+
Consumable Fee: $15
Prerequisites: None
